The Rugby Championship kicks off for 2017 this weekend, starting with old foes New Zealand and Australia facing off in a match that doubles as the first of the three-match Bledisloe Cup series. So where will the two matches be played, what time do they kick off, and who will feature?

Darts champ sparks fury with abuse tweets

Five-time world darts champion Eric Bristow sparked outrage on social media with comments about the ongoing child abuse scandal in English football.

The 59-year-old Englishman launched into a Twitter rant in which he described darts players as 'tough' men and footballers as 'wimps'.

He added that if he'd been abused when he was a child he would have returned as an adult and 'sorted that p--f out' and claimed he was glad he was a darts player and a 'proper man'.

The series of posts drew fierce criticism, including from Steve Walters, one of the former footballers to have spoken out about his abuse at the hands of convicted paedophile and former Crewe coach Barry Bennell.
